What is the central question of this study? The aim study was to determine influence menstrual phase on flow-mediated dilatation in response sustained, exercise-induced increases shear stress. main finding and its importance? We showed, for first time, that healthy, premenopausal women stimulated by stress did not fluctuate across two phases cycle, despite significant fluctuations oestrogen. This suggests endothelial function consistently augmented high-oestrogen phase. Flow-mediated (FMD) a...
Introduction Systemic racism impacts personal and community health; however, education regarding its role in perpetuating healthcare inequity remains limited medical curricula. This study implemented evaluated the impact of a student-led anti-racism programme on students' perceptions racial bias medicine, awareness of, confidence to advocate against medicine.Method A total 543 early stage students were invited participate programme. Participants assigned readings videos exploring injustice...
Problem: Although motivational interviewing is an effective patient-centered counseling method that healthcare providers can adopt to promote positive behavior change among patients, not routinely taught in medical schools. Intervention: A 3.5-hour workshop was delivered second year students at a Canadian school. Students were first introduced the concept of interviewing, and then given opportunity apply this knowledge smaller seminar groups increase their competency within context lifestyle...
Objective. Physician physical activity (PA) counseling remains low due partly to lack of knowledge, emphasizing the importance providing learning opportunities develop competency, given strong associations between PA and health. This study aimed describe behavior change techniques (BCTs) used in an “Exercise Expo” workshop examine workshop’s effectiveness for improving social cognitions discuss exercise with patients. Methods. Second-year medical students (N = 54; M age ± SD 25.4 2.95 years)...
<h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the proportion of patients with symptoms suggestive asthma and normal lung function who exhibit airway hyperreactivity methacholine challenge testing (MCT) in primary care. <h3>Design</h3> Retrospective chart review. <h3>Setting</h3> Primary care clinic Toronto, Ont. <h3>Participants</h3> A total 69 presenting to had compatible asthma, spirometry test results, were referred for MCT. <h3>Main outcome measures</h3> Descriptive statistics, frequency counts,...

Exercise is Medicine Canada (EIMC) at Queen's University provided physical activity (PA) education to first year Ontario medical student conference attendees. 24 participants (23±2years) completed questionnaires one week prior (online/in-person) and after (online) the conference. theory evidence based content resulted in statistically significant increases EIMC (χ²[1,N=24]=26.32,p<0.001) Canadian PA guideline...
<ns4:p>This article was migrated. The not marked as recommended. Background: Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior, we examined gender differences in physical activity (PA) behavior and social cognitions (SC; i.e., attitudes, perceived behavioral control, intentions subjective norms) among first-year medical students. Methods: In October 2015, students from across Ontario [n=95; 23±2 years (31 males)] completed questionnaires assessing PA levels SC. Results: Men reported greater...
Problem: Primary care providers are recognized as important advocates for physical activity (PA); yet, clinical PA discussions remain infrequent. Educational approaches promoting the uptake of strategies that proven to increase patient levels effective improving primary providers' social cognitions and behavior discussing with patients. However, research on effectiveness such educational interventions among family medicine residents is limited. Intervention: Using Theory Planned Behavior...
<h3>Context:</h3> A severe asthma registry in primary care is needed to determine the population prevalence and best practices real world. <h3>Objective:</h3> To establish consensus on a) a definition of asthma, b) criteria for entry c)indices clinician behaviour. <h3>Study Design Analysis:</h3> We conducted an e-Delphi panel four rounds. used open-ended survey Round 1 identify potential items be considered as (a, b c) above. 5-point Likert scale from strongly disagree agree was voting these...
Although most asthma is mild to moderate, severe accounts for disproportionate personal and societal costs. Poor co-ordination of care between primary specialist settings recognised as a barrier achieving optimal outcomes. The Primary Care Severe Asthma Registry Education (PCSAR-EDU) project aims address these gaps through the interdisciplinary development evaluation both 'real-world' registry an educational programme providers. This manuscript describes phase 1 PCSAR-EDU which involves...
Reactive hyperemia (RH) following the release of a brief limb occlusion is commonly used to assess resistance vessel function. The purpose this study was examine impact repeated trials on within subject day‐to‐day variability forearm blood flow during RH. Ten young, healthy, non‐smoking subjects (6 female, 4 male) were examined in fasted state. Brachial artery diameter and velocity assessed with Echo Doppler ultrasound, respectively. Subjects visited lab twice performed four RH each visit....
<b>Background:</b> Several algorithms exist to facilitate spirometric interpretation in clinical practice; yet, there is a lack of consensus on how criteria for asthma and COPD diagnoses should be incorporated into spirometry (SIA) suitable use day-to-day primary care management these conditions. <b>Purpose:</b> To identify describe the variability among SIA this might relevant data care. <b>Methods:</b> Medline, Embase mainstream search engines identified all English-language related...
